Debian DLA-2308-1 : libopenmpt security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 139251

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In libopenmpt before 0.3.19 and 0.4.x before 0.4.9, ModPlug_InstrumentName and ModPlug_SampleName in libopenmpt_modplug.c do not restrict the lengths of libmodplug output-buffer strings in the C API, leading to a buffer overflow.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.7386~beta20.3-3+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libopenmpt packages.

For the detailed security status of libopenmpt please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libopenmpt

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
